Since The sailing of tn Inst packet
our little town has been quite in com
motion. The events to follow the
prohibitIve placardS in form of Pro-
cIamation from the Government,
nnent he Carnival on Monday, Dist,
and Tuesday, 22nd uIlimo, were
closely watched by the Police auth0-
rites and the surveillance had the
etfecr desirrd-of reducing almost to
n0nentity the turbulent and broilsome
characteristics of this f6te in past
years. Very few were the cases that
our law ourts have had 10 deal with
thi. yenr.
immediately following the Carni-
val, we had, on Thursday, 24rh ultimo,
the Naparima Agricultural Society's
Exhibition, the second OF its kind
held in our community, but the fest

suspicious time was fixed for this
Exhibition, eaas he Inauguration

originally Designed by Dame Nature
as the marke, p!.cc of the Naparimas.
The Exhibition was declared open 10
visitors at about IL o'clock in the
forenoon by His ExceIlency the Gov

SIR Arthur Hamilton Gordon opened
the first Exhibition held ia this dis
trict, some years ago. Sir William
has, however, had the pleasure of
being assured that superiority in the
majority of "X lbits has been the cha
racterislic feature of this Exhibition
ns compared to the one held 20 years
previously. All the rIac, IS OF bu~i
ness, including public o%ffice~, were
close! at 10 Il. m, and the day was
observed as "a general holiday. Even
after the closing Of the Exhibition,
Iate in the afternoon, crowds of people
were still within and around the new
market.house.
IT'S true, as has been oft repeated,
that Zone half of the world knows not
how the other half lives ;" for whilst
some were in high enjoyment at the
Exhibition, others were battling with
the grim monster, death, on the bosom
of the briny deep. between San Fer

American ship of war Saratoga, four
lost their lives on this memorable
Thursday, 24th February, whilst re-

~ q Masylamd Avenue Cr0ssings

George CLANCY, the driver of Q Belt Line car, had
thrilling experience about O'Clock last night at
the railroad crossing on Maryland avenue. at 18th
street southwest CLANCY was driving his
car up 1lth street from the river. When
he reached the railroad track the gstes were down
and he had TO stop and wait two or three minutes.
while shifting engine was shunting freight cars
back and forth over the crossing on ono OF the
tracks At moment when the shifting engine
and its freight cars had cleared the track the
shifting boss halloed to the gatemaA TO raise the
gates and let the car pasA CLANCY started hts car
and had Juse passed under the gate when the
local passenger train bound for Alexandra,
By the long Inns 81 freight cars that were being
shifted about on the other track came rushing
down to the crossing. The gateman discovered
down 20 that Of the south gates struck the top
Of the street car. The north gates going down at

and succeeded i1 stopping his car and throw.
Of the tracks ON witch the train was coming al
rapid rate. The engine struck the horse and tear
ing 1t away from the car, carried it nifty yards or

and scratched by the passing train. The horse
was not dead when found, but was killed by a

was almost on the crossing, on account OF the
gone TO the east side OF the crossing when the
gates were raised There were no passengers In
the street car. The accident, which might have
been much more serious, u attributed to the use
OF the tracks at that point for shifting freight cars
Against such use OF the tracks residents OF the
nelghb0rhood have protested for years An order
against occupancy OF the street for such purposes
was obtained some time ago from the court
but It was subsequently modined by the court so
70 permit the use OF one track for the purpose.
This was done on the representation OF the rail-
road company that they were obliged to use one
track In order to get any benet from their freight
depot near by. Citizens interested In the matter
think that the fact that the railroad company is
obliged to use the neighboring streets for shifting
cars Is q strong reason why the freight depot
should be removed to some other point.

Citizens Of the District and Of virginia have WIS.,
lied senator InsalA chairman OF the Dlssxics CON-
mitsss; In numbers with complaints Of the delay
IN the complet1on Of the Aqueduct bridge Many
Of than assert that the delay Is wiful and deiber-
ate. and they beg that Congress win take some
step 70 compel diligence and work. A srAR ~
pofter to-day asked senator Ingalls, II thsse was
really ground tor complaint He replied that
there Ia. and added:
1.-THE delay in the construction and com
pleeon Of the Aqueduct bridge - inexousabaa
The ostensahle pretext Is that in the deficiency
appropriation ball Of last session. which failed 70
receive the approval Of the President there Was
provision for the construction a draw. That
provision was never submitted 70 the District
committees OF either House. nor was u ever consid-
nIss o Y es s' S MSSss
Ing the construction Of the Aqueduct bridge passed

There is no commerce above the bridge which

It seems that the pretext Of delay, according 70
some who claim to know, ts that Congress should
be given an opportunity to make provision for q
draw; that as 1t did make such provision, but the
Dill ltne denctency appropriation IN the rush and
hurry OF closing scenes failed to receive

The provision for draw was deliberately stricken

A Special Message Irom the President.
TO ACCOMPANY THE PACIFIC RAILROAD C0MAIS-
SION REPORTS.
The Presidents delay in sending to Congress the
report Of the Pacific Railroad commission Is caused
BY the fact that two reports were made, and that
he intends to send special message to Congress
on the subject. It Is necessary that he should
take some time reconsider both reports thoroughly
before writing his message. He Is very anxious
that Congress should pass some legislation this
winter to secure the interests OF the Government,
and he has spoken TO some Of the leading members
OF his party on the subject. The question Is q
very important one andhe will urge very strongly
taken to secure the Government against loss.
